I'm glad your friends have benefited from Jus Solis but that doesn't mean the law is still relevant in 21st century America. While I do believe the law was necessary in the past to beef up our numbers, I don't think we need the huge influx of immigrants today that we needed 100 years ago.

If the dependents were born here and are US citizens and it is found that the visa holder violated his visa at some point before the kids were born, do you revoke the child's citizenship? |
In a perfect world, yes. Citizenship by fraud is way too common but because of Jus Solis anyone born here is a citizen and cannot be deported.

It's no more difficult for an Asian to immigrate here than it is for a South American. Yes, it does cost money to immigrate but we don't charge certain ethnicities more than others. I'd actually say Mexicans have the advantage over others when it comes to immigration because they can just say hell to the Visas and inspections and sneak over.
